How artex removal works in Perry Vale
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings already disturbed, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
In flats and houses around Perry Vale, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Perry Vale questions
Do textured ceilings in Perry Vale homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Perry Vale homes?
Any home in Perry Vale built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
